Can you tell us what linear dimensions your attic would have
for potential dipoles?
They also work at nonresonant lengths, and work quite well.
At frequencies above their resonant length they can actually
contribute some gain. Height above ground will be a bigger
factor, in that for freqs below the resonant freq, you will
find your major lobe pretty much straight up. But it will
be a fat lob, and work out to a distance as well, just not
as well as a dipole up over a quarterwavelength on the band
in use.

Subject: [Elecraft] Non-resonant attic loop
I'm needing to install an antenna in my new home. An attic loop is a
necessity ... can't run an outside wire easily.
I'm assuming that an 88-ft loop will be non-resonant in all bands 80-10,
and fed with ladder line to the tuner should work.
Other suggestions?
Thanks.
